Alaska-Park, Anchorage

Before leaving on a trip, travelers often make sure their kids, home, and pets are in good hands. But everyone knows no one gets lonelier when the tribe is away than the family car. Alaska-Park, the only airport valet in town, keeps automobiles safe and content from the minute drivers pull up to the well-lit drop-off area. Valets unburden vehicles from their families' luggage, transporting it to the 24-hour shuttle bus travelers will use to hitch a short ride to Ted Stevens International Airport. Valets then drive the car to a safe and secure lot, where round-the-clock surveillance means it'll never be alone. And, when auto owners return, they'll find their car has been cleared of snow in the winter, and cool in the summer, with a bottle of water waiting on the front seat to welcome them home.
